SO I have a mature tank that is 90% automated. I run it as a low nutrient system for years (over 10 low nutrient). However the tank is 22 years old. i do vodka dose and use mechanical as well as refugium with chaeto to keep nusance algae at bay. Observation shows chaeto seems to have stoped growing but has not perished. Frag tank and MD are tied in however. The light is same as on main display. light schedule and intensity is adjusted however in the farg tank (LOWER).
Following is my recent testing:
Conductivity 35.5
temp between 77-78
Po4 .02 red sea and hanna checker
No3 - 2 or 3 using fauna marin and red sea
Ca 500
alk 9 dkh red sea (this test may be questionable as i think my test kit has been bad for a while but I should be able to confirm when i get my new test kit on Tuesday) *** alk may have been in the low range at 4-5 dkh befor raising it to 9dkh now. However, I can not confirm because i think my test kit is bad.
Mg 1250 red sea
I also sent away an ICP test last week which should be available to me soon and can share here when results arrive.
Please ID if you know what type of algae it is and how I should remedy to rid of it. Thanks in advance!
